Additional quotes by George Granville

Since truth and constancy are vain,
Since neither love, nor sense of pain,
Nor force of reason, can persuade,
Then let example be obey'd.

Marriage the happiest bond of love might be,
If hands were only join'd when hearts agree.

Scarce hadst thou time t'unsheath thy conqu'ring blade;
It did but glitter, and the rebels fled.
